Mehwish Hayat and Figures

Decidedly more stunning in Punjab Nahi Jaungi (PNJ), Mehwish now sports a much more arresting figure. Those pencil-sharp features gave her an insensitive look earlier, but now, she has a much more softened face, hair in a nice braid, and stunning body… what more do you want? Yeah, but, it’s the other figures that are climbing! The Lollywood producers, who want to contact Mehwish for their films can’t believe their ears – this news is no ear candy. They say Mehwish is quoting a figure like 50 lakhs! You can see, Ms Hayat started with just an item song, tantalisingly titled Billi, in Na Maloom Afraad. Then she got Jawani Phir Nahi Ani, Actor in Law and PNJ, all superhits, so, the figures had to increase. She is the most bankable female film artiste today. But, the producers and directors have their heads in their hands. They say it’s too much. “We can make a whole movie in this figure,” one of them murmured. “Thora kam karein jee!” For her, they are all na maloom afraad. She seems to say, “Punjab naheen jaoongi!”
